    Please excuse us while my family is learning to adjust to a different rhythm,
    I took off some days to focus on this transition for my kids.
    While I’m catching up, A Fine Frenzy’s new album Pines has been keeping me wonderful company. ♥

    It was such a treat to see the whole album is on Spotify, love the calming & haunting melodies.
    Any other new fall music I’m missing out on?

    As I mentioned at the end of the Lovely Rentals Engagement Post, Shawn & Jill had a summer downpour during their engagement session. We rescheduled for a couple days later and even though there was rain on the horizon, part of the sky was gorgeous so we focused on that.

    The summer’s watercolor sky was a dream to have as a backdrop.

    The rain held off and we had a gorgeous colorful sunset.

      Very nice images…love the background!

    My favorite kind of light, is the kind that is the most fleeting.
    The most elusive unless I am careful to notice its presence.
    There is something wonderful about knowing I must treasure the glow before it disappears.
    Once it fades & night is here,
    I am always glad I did. ♥

    Last week was a blur of sick kiddos, doctor visits, working late into the nights, and cold rain.
    We had one golden evening and had a little sunset picnic next to the lake.
    I’ve been loving the colors & flavors of a full blown autumn.
    Around here, we’re trying to sip on the sweetness of the season, but still find balance.

     I also had the chance to attend my ten year high school reunion.
    It was refreshing to see old friends & interesting step into “Andrea Bell’s” shoes for a bit.
    They don’t really fit anymore, but I guess that’s the nature of growing & becoming who we are.
    It was nice to see people in person, the internet will never be able to replace that feeling! ♥

    Talk about a lovely idea!

    As a wedding photographer, it’s always fun to see how brides & grooms have been customizing their wedding celebrations with anything from vintage, DIY decor, eclectic thrift finds, to modern & minimalist fashions.
    The new wedding trend is that there is no trend.
    It’s about your story & being able to craft a wedding that feels like YOU.
    Now there is a way for Dayton locals to style weddings & events by renting the props & furniture.

    I was so excited to find out that wedding & portrait photographer, Molly Dues, was starting a modern vintage rental company here in Dayton, Ohio. They are technically located in the charming downtown of Troy, Ohio and have a beautiful studio space above the Obama Center. I might or might not find excuses to stop by and say hello to the friendly & gifted photographers who run it, Molly & Rachel. 🙂

    Lovely Rentals was so kind to sponsor a recent engagement session I did and I was so impressed with the stylist they offered to help us, Andria. She was so sweet & we were talking about “kindred spirits” before we knew it. She was really helpful with styling a bohemian engagement session that was absolutely gorgeous. I am so excited to tell my treasure seeking & busy brides about this opportunity to work with a boutique that will help set up engagement sessions, wedding displays {your cake table or guest sign in area}, and special events {bridal showers!}.

    You can check out Lovely Rentals on Facebook and stay tuned for their new website launch.

    This was all shot in about fifteen minutes because after a long hot summer drought, it finally poured mid session! We decided to reschedule for a couple days later & they had a whole new evening sky to work with. Stay tuned for the second part of Shawn & Jill’s special engagement session.
    Thankfully, they had the most gorgeous wedding weather. I think they deserved it after the deluge during their engagement session!
    Here is a preview from their beautiful wedding at {newly restored} The Willow Tree located in Tipp City, Ohio:

    It’s such a treat to meet other inspiring photographers & work with a community of wonderful vendors here in Dayton! ♥
